But it does not hurt when the above-mentioned people try to increase insight and fun by learning about the activities that grandmasters practice on a daily basis to be successful... the instructions in this book - how to use the computer, how to choose the opening that suits you in terms of playing style (but also in terms of character), how to get to know an opening better than by just memorizing the moves - are all also important for the average chess player who wants to learn something."Bab Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad
